-Main Topic- Touring Disney’s Hollywood Studios

-The Disney Exchange is Lisa Green, David Hodges, and me, Nicholas Maglio 

-We start off the show with me asking Lisa to tell about her being chosen to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration, which was Mardi Gras themed.

-Dave launches us into our main topic, Disney’s Hollywood Studios by saying he doesn’t spend a lot of time there! I know, right? And he doesn’t play the lottery apparently.

-I bring up the Sorcerer’s Hat, and how all of us are not particularly unhappy to see it go. Sorry.

-Dave goes on to tell of his DHS touring strategy; Rope drop, Toy Story Midway Mania with FastPass selections being Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and something else. 

Early morning bite to eat? We all agree that Starring Rolls is the way to go!

Dave also enjoys the shows, such as Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular.

-The wonderful Writer’ Stop is discussed.

-Lisa and I go back to what I feel was the heyday of the park, which was the early to mid 90s.

-I’m up next and I share my FP choices which are usually Tower, Rock’n or Toy Story, and Star Tours.

-The not so wonderful, (this opinion may not necessarily be shared by a certain co-host named Dave) Light’s, Motor, Action is discussed. In fact I use the word “abomination,” and Lisa agrees.

- I tell a horrible Fantasmic story, and how emotional One Man’s Dream makes me.

-Lisa always Fastpasses Toy Story Midway Mania, primarily because she dislikes the queue so much, because it looks like the inside of her brain apparently!
